Between Shadows: Modern Irish Writing and Culture John Wilson Foster

Between Shadows is a sequel to John Wilson Foster's acclaimed Colonial Consequences (1991) and, like its predecessor, is a widely-ranging encounter with modern Irish writers and modern Irish culture. Among the writers are Wilde, Yeats, Joyce, Trevor, and Barry. The wartime Ulster literary scene, Bloomsday, Irish nationalism, and the Great War are among the cultural episodes and phenomena the author engages with in this varied set of critical engagements.
